Food intake regulation during pregnancy and lactation in mice with reduced activity of the melanocortin system by E. N. Makarova, I. V. Romanova, N. M. Bazhan

“…Hypothalamic melanortin receptor (MCR) activation inhibits appetite. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Agouti Related Protein (AgRP) are coexpressed in some hypothalamic neurons and stimulate feeding, NPY via inhibition of MCR-expressing neurons, and AgRP via MCR4 antagonism. …”

Neurochemical Plasticity of the Coeliac-Superior Mesenteric Ganglion Complex Neurons Projecting to the Prepyloric Area of the Porcine Stomach following Hyperacidity by Katarzyna Palus, Jarosław Całka

“…In the control animals, FB-positive perikarya displayed immunoreactivity to tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DβH), neuropeptide Y (NPY), and galanin (GAL). Experimentally induced gastric hyperacidity changed the neurochemical phenotype of the studied neurons. …”
